As an aside; I was using the DGS-3100 switches stacked. The new
generation of DGS-3120 switches I also used stacked, and are a *marked*
improvement over the 3100 series. I've not gone back to re-test the
other bond modes on these switches, as I must live within Red Hat's
supported configuration
I also experimented with D-Link DGS-3xxx switches and the bonding
driver, but in a quite strange configuration: 2 distinct switches
without any "knowledge" of each other, and with each server having NIC
#1 connected in one switch and NIC #2 in the other.
In my case, the bonding driver actually spl

I know that the only *supported* bond is Active/Passive (mode=1), which
of course provides no performance benefit.
I tested all types, using more modest D-Link DGS-3100 switches and all
other modes failed at some point in failure and recovery testing. If you
want to experiment, I'd suggest twe
